Chapter 198 (1/2)
Each lettuce leaf was rubbed clean. Seeing that a Yao took the trouble to rub the leaves and remove the vegetable insects, he carefully compared with the sun. Don't have too many wormholes. Leave the dishes with intact appearance to help build them up. Pei Shuo volunteered to help her wash the vegetable leaves. As soon as he took over, he rubbed several lettuce.
”You'd better watch and wash more rotten tablets. We won't have to eat at night.” Scared, a Yao pushed Pei Shuo aside. The lettuce was washed with well water several times. Finally, it was boiled with cold water and drained again for standby.
”Is there such an exaggeration? It's a bit wasteful. You can eat all these. ” Pei Shuo felt a little pity when he saw several piles of lettuce leaves selected by a Yao.
After several years in the army, the food in the army changed according to the conditions at that time. On the way of the most intense war and rapid march, there may not be hot rice, but eating hard wheat cakes with cold water. Later, he was stationed in the city, doing farm work in his spare time, transplanting seedlings, harvesting and planting vegetables. He learned to cherish the hard won food.
If he wants to know Wangyue now, he will not invite her to come home and cook dishes for several days - Wangyue follows the principle of never getting tired of eating fine food, never getting tired of eating fine food and using high-quality materials. Even if it is a seasonal vegetable in soup, choose the most tender heart and discard other leaves.
”It's not allowed here. The dishes here are made into hot dishes. Just like the pickled vegetables you ate in other hospitals in the suburbs of Beijing last time, I think you ate more chopsticks. It's also good for dinner. Finally, these are to be made into lettuce bags. The leaves of lettuce bags require high quality. They should not have too many insect eyes or rot, otherwise they can't catch things and the juice will leak out. ”
A Yao pointed to three piles of vegetables and explained that only a small pile was not allowed.
”When I first learned to cook, master Wangyue told me not to learn from her. I was more oriented to the people or middle and lower class officials. Of course, if you are invited to cook for senior officials one day, you must have more strict requirements on the selection of materials. From the materials, taste and banquet for guests, they can match the price they give, which makes them feel that it is worth inviting me. ”
Pei Shuo: ”I see. The hot dishes are really delicious. It's rare that you can see them from so far away.”
When it comes to other hospitals in the suburbs of Beijing, a Yao and Pei Shuo are silent at the same time. In order to transfer time, a Yao took Isatis indigotica, cut off the white part of the dish, left the leaves to wash, scalded the leaves soft, picked up cold water to keep its color green, handled it for standby, and chopped minced meat.
Anyway, I can't stop.
She doesn't know how to face Pei Shuo. In the last life, she owes Pei Shuo a life. She doesn't know how to compensate in this life.
Oh.
Pei Shuo's eyes sank. He felt that after leaving the hospital, a Yao seemed to deliberately avoid him. Every time he looked at him, there was guilt and irreparable apology.
What made her so sorry, the food at the banquet or the unhappiness at the banquet?
But he has one thing to say:
”Ah Yao, the puffer fish in other hospitals in the suburbs of Beijing last time...”
Dong! The orderly sound of kitchen knives suddenly stopped.
A Yao heard the puffer fish and remembered that in her previous life, she woke up and found herself in the sedan chair. She followed people into other hospitals vaguely. She remembered that she couldn't cook fish, but she was so familiar with scraping scaly fish. She remembered that Pei Shuo fell down after eating fish fillets, and the bloody and tearful cook was looking at her. Her pupils contracted and shouted, ”I didn't do that puffer fish!”
Pei Shuo frowned. Did ah Yao react a little too much.
He explained, ”it's none of your business. The young man was from another courtyard. He was bought to mix the puffer fish into it as a small fish. Later, it was found out that Bai Yun did it secretly. As Pei Xingzhi's concubine, she promised to buy him out of another courtyard and betroth his servant girl to him when he was done, as long as he mixed puffer fish seedlings in the ingredients. ”
A Yao calmed her mood. Hearing what he said, she was so surprised that she couldn't hold her chin: ”Bai Yun? Mingming last saw her as a servant girl. When did she become Pei Xingzhi's concubine? What happened? ”
”It should be the last time you saw her. They were drunk with me.” Pei Shuo disdained to hum and laugh. ”Just that night, the next day she screamed and attracted people. The second uncle beat peixingzhi half to death and forced him to accept Bai Yun.”
”Oh - I see.” A Yao realized clearly and continued to dice the mushrooms: ”Bai Yun's means are really high. It's clear that nothing happened, but she was forcibly stuffed with a concubine. Pei Xingzhi has a stomach of bad water and has finally been calculated.”
”Well, you know?”
”If Pei Xingzhi gets excited and pretends to be crazy by drinking, he can do what he didn't dare to do. It's called wine to strengthen people's courage. Bai Yun wants to take his place and can achieve his goal with a few provocations. But how could a man who was so drunk that he couldn't even feel when he was carrying the carriage to get up that night? ” Ah Yao blurted out. As soon as her voice fell, she wanted to bite off her tongue. What should she do to discuss this topic with Pei Shuo?
”Huh? You know. ”
The sentence was no different from the question just now. The tone was completely different. Ah Yao looked at the approaching shadow of the desk and became more and more guilty. Subconsciously, she shrunk her neck like a quail. She turned around. Pei Shuo had come to her, forcing her to hold her head up and support the desk with her hands behind her.
As soon as they were close, the height contrast was stronger, and she could reach Pei Shuo's shoulder.
She reached out to push him away, but Pei Shuo held her hand: ”Pei, Pei Shuo, don't get so close...”
”Ah Yao, you haven't told me how you know, huh?”
His head slowly lowered. The shadow shrouded a Yao. The other hand held the desk. His forehead offset his forehead. The two people left each other in their eyes. The only one he and she was reflected in each other's eyes, breathing intertwined.
A Yao was so nervous that she held her breath. Her heart beat faster and faster. She seemed to rush out of her chest and couldn't breathe. Her cheeks were crimson. She also felt dizzy wave after wave. Her feather fan like eyelashes moved back and forth and slowly closed her eyes.
”Stupid a Yao, are you breathing or what are you looking forward to?”
The temperature of the other side on her forehead has left. Ah Yao breathes and opens her eyes. Pei Shuo doesn't know when to release his hands. He puts his hands around her waist and buries his head in the nest of her neck: ”not yet, but I'm looking forward to that day - I can kiss you openly. You won't resist because of our identity. You only belong to me and I only belong to you.”
“……”
A Yao slowly put her hands around her, gave Pei Shuo a virtual hug, and said calmly: ”can you go out now and don't bother me to cook?”
”Ah Yao is really ruthless.”
”You're making trouble without reason. Don't be coquettish and let go.”
Pei Shuo let go and went out of the kitchen door without looking back. Then he quickly moved to the little Mazar and sat back in the kitchen: ”I'm out. You didn't say you wouldn't let me in.”
